BBC to upload EastEnders episodes

BBC to upload EastEnders episodes directly to iPlayer during the European football Championships so fans won't have to miss out when a match is on. 


There was a time when football tournaments played havoc with TV schedules and soap addicts in particular were left hanging while a match was screened instead.

But now we live in a digital age – and the makers of EastEnders are exploiting the technology so fans can still get their regular fix.

For the duration of the European Championships next month, a whole week of episodes will be posted on iPlayer every Monday, giving viewers a choice between streaming the soap like a box-set drama or tuning in on BBC One when it hasn’t been moved for evening games. 

Jon Sen, executive producer of EastEnders, said: ‘Giving viewers the ability to decide when they drop in on all things Albert Square is something we’re excited about. 

'Box-setting all four episodes will ensure everyone gets their dose of drama and football fans won’t miss out. We hope BBC iPlayer keeps viewers content.’

Every Monday at 6am from June 14 all four EastEnders episodes for the week will be available on iPlayer.

Recently in the show, the plot saw Chelsea Fox (played by Zaraah Abrahams) embark on a plan to prove Dwayne's true colours. 

Convinced that her auntie Kim (played by Tameka Empson) is being deceived by her new man, Chelsea intended to use her meet-up with him at Ruby's club as a way to prove her theory. 

It comes after Chelsea pulled Kim aside to reveal that she already knew Dwayne, because he'd previously dated one of her friends.

Chelsea claimed that the prior relationship ended in disaster when her friend discovered out that Dwayne was in fact dating four other women at the same time. 

Kim dismissed Chelsea's warning about her new love interest, insisting to her niece that Dwayne was head over heels for her.

Chelsea may have more difficulty in getting her family to believe her after she repeatedly lied to her mother Denise (Diane Parish).

She did so only recently, as part of a plot to get her dad Lucas (Don Gilet) to take the rap in a drug plot.

It comes after EastEnders confirmed it's set to explore a dark female genital mutilation storyline involving character Mila Marwa (Ruhtxjiaïh Bèllènéa) and her younger sister Kioni (Florisa Kamara).
